Is there anyway the site could have a breaking news red flashing banner Important stories are already entered in the Stories of Note side bar (if Blue doesn't forget  ).
Red flashing banners are so geocities-90's...  |

Great move on Twitter. Please do the same with Facebook. I "liked" the page but I had to unfollow it due to flooding. Frequent updating there ceased after March 20, 2018. All updating, in fact. |

Kind of thought that was why they had the outage over the weekend? I thought that was when he moved it. The server is in a data center and not moving -- nor did it have a real outage as far as I know. |

Oh, I see... I'm guessing it was actually intentional on retired's part and he manually changed the thread ID to match his question.
Looks like Sepharo figured out the same thing. Right. But I've now updated the post-confirmation code to disallow this, in all boards. |

Oh my. This doen't seem to be the same as what batman did, but arguably worse lol
Edit: I guess it was, just nobody noticed Batman's "No Subject" post back in 2011 Right. My description about laying dormant and resurfacing (re. Retired's post) was inaccurate, because I didn't realize it was present in the topic listing that way all this time, until your "test" reproduced the situation. |

Retired wrote on Aug 12, 2011, 21:20:
200,000 Comment threads.
When will it arrive? wat the wat
How does retired's post date become Aug 12, 2011, 21:20 This was a crazy one. The post by Retired has been in the database for a really long time, since the actual 12 Aug 2011 timestamp in fact. It has post-id 690507 which corresponds with other posts made around that timestamp, and around the thread-id 1244xx time frame.
But post 690507 itself had thread-id 200000 all this time (verified in a database backup of Mar 2 and I didn't bother with older backups of last year). So the post didn't show up with the thread it was meant to be posted to, but laid dormant in the database until actual topic 200000 was created. Then it resurfaced. It's alive! Alive! 
I have no idea which topic the post should have been assigned to, and why/how it ended up with thread-id 200000 instead. But I guess I'm now gonna leave with this topic.
And no, there aren't any other posts with wacky out-of-order thread ids. |

So you are saying Epic broke the database? ^^ Heh, no, it was an oversight during the integration of Chatbear by Bagpuss with Blammo by Furn around the turn of the century.
Only because stories rarely have Subjects this long, did it go unnoticed until today (on any previous occasions, I didn't happen to be monitoring the error log).

Thanks for keeping the forum glued together with nothing but bubblegum, caffeine and your knowledge. I hope you never run out of any of them.  I personally don't care for bubblegum, but yeah, that and band-aids do come in handy occasionally to patch up this place. |

Because of the overly long story Subject and, consequently, post Subject, 6 posts attempted to this thread were not stored in the database. I've made a quick change to truncate the post subject to the size of the database column (100 chars). This post is a test.
The affected posts were by users Task (3), Qbex (2) and Acleacius. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

| Very sad to read the news I feared, but hoped wouldn't come so soon. I feel privileged to have met (way back in 2007) both Gunnar and Hudson, and know what wonderful friends they were to MrsBlue and you. My sincere condolences. |

Can't delete my post. Site still says "The email address/password combination you entered does not have the appropriate permission to delete this comment." even though I'm logged in and can edit my settings. Apologies, but post deletion is an administrative function. I added the word 'administrative' to the message to (hopefully...) make it even clearer that this is a matter of board rights. |

https://www.bluesnews.com/news/news_1_0.rdf should show dates and times. None of the RSS feed readers show them.  Blue and/or Frans, please kindly update it to include them?  I rarely check the forums, so email would have gained a quicker response. As would requesting it, like, a decade earlier. But better late than never, UTC date/timestamps are now included.
With a plural subject, what is your next suggestion? |

You didn't hard-refresh, I take it? Hmm, I launched it in a new browser and one updated, but the other didn't -- how could that have happened? Weird. Because I also fixed the filename of the first one (gunnaranddder -> gunnaranddeer ) so it was a "new" image. |
